HOU vs LAC
Nearing the end of the 2nd Qtr...
Why are they not calling INT on off-ball fouls? Seems pretty textbook to me and no different than the "hack-a-Shaq" plan from days long ago. I forgot why I quit watching the NBA (yes, even the playoffs).......and within 2 minutes, I was starkly reminded.

There seems to be a "movement" among sevaral talking heads to make the Hack-a-Shaq strategy against the rules. While it seems stupid to say "Since some of these professionals who are paid millions a year because of their skills have a glaring hole in their game we are making it against the rules to foul them when they don't have the ball" I can see their point. One, there is some evidence that TV share points drop when this starts because the game turns into a FT shooting contest (would you watch an extra-point kicking contest in the NFL?). Second, it really doesn't make sense to have one set of rules for 46 minutes and a second set of rules for 2 minutes.
Personally, I think they should eliminate the change during the last two minutes. Make these "athletes" fix the hole in their game or force to HC to decide if their defensive skills more than make up for the offensive weakness.

Fouling a playeer without that ball to stop the clock and make a team shoot free throws rather then get to run clock and have an offensive possession. (OK for first 38 minutes)
Fouling a player with the ball to stop the clock and make a team shoot free throws rather then get to run clock and have an offensive possession. (OK for first 38 minutes and last 2 minutes) Fouling a player without the ball to stop the clock and make a team shoot free throws rather then get to run clock and have an offensive possession. (Not ok for the last 2 minutes) This combo of rules seems non sensical. If you want to ensure the ball is in play in any of those scenarios so some time has to tick of the clock that is one thing. But once its in play how is it different?

There was a pretty funny play, I believe in the 2nd Q, where the trail and slot both missed the intentional foul on DJ and the lead had to run onto the court and call it as Austin Rivers was driving for a layup. You could hear Doc Rivers arguing with Marc Davis that they should get the basket because AR was already in the air. Got to love how Doc just makes stuff up.
